good day dear friends,🤩

 

I've also considered this – with a  Docker approach looks very well thought out.

i want to use Grafana and a tig stack for monitoring my PV station.

 

well i thought: Efficient, reliable, and portable monitoring of PV data – a good solution is  to use in combination with Grafana, InfluxDB, and the like.😘 - in other Words: a fully fledged TIG-Stack..:

And I also think starting with Docker is a good idea: it makes setup easier thanks to docker-compose.

the benefit : we can then start, configure, and connect all services with a single file (docker-compose.yml).

 In other words, no more tedious installation of each individual application (including all dependencies) on the system.

the good thing: The most important components that i think i am going to need to integrate are the following things:

 

  • Grafana for the dashboard, including a renderer for alarms
  • InfluxDB for storing data
  • Telegraf for converting MQTT to InfluxDB
  • Node-RED for evaluating and feeding the Solcast API for forecasting
  • Sungather for reading Modbus and sending as MQTT
  • evcc for PV surplus charging

 

how to isntall docckr on Linux?

Look forward to hear from you

 

regards

There are Docker Hub images for all of those things. So, you'll need to decide which type of Docker install you want:

  • Docker Desktop: Easiest option, graphical interface, non-commercial use only w/o subscription
  • Docker Engine: Terminal only, uses fewer resources

When using a docker-compose.yml file, it is the creation of the file that is the hardest bit. Even on the terminal, it's just one tiny command to start or stop everything.

You can setup Docker on Linux that is running on a physical device or in a virtual machine.

Do you already have a device with Linux installed? If so, which Linux distro does it have?
